        <<We have a number of printer classes defined that are serviced by
XSPOOL, that is, transferred to Novell queues.

        These are set up with fake LDEV numbers and fake paths. The
spoolfiles just sit in the queue until XSPOOL picks them up.

        On the 947 I would define these like:
        io>ad 11 id=hp2564b path=8.0.2    { ldev 6 is 8.0.3 }
        io>ac COMPLP ldev=11

        I tried the following on the 939
        io>ad 11 id=hp2564b path = 10/4/20.8.1   { ldev 6 is 10/4/20.8.0  }

        but get the following error on bootup:

        LLIO Error - subsys: 213,  proc num: -49,  error_num: -28
        for path 10/4/20.8.1.
         ERROR  - LLIO device configuration error: -11
                  status - subsys: #150  info: #-11


        Any ideas how I configure these 'fake devices' on the 939.>>


You shouldn't have to do anything in :SYSGEN to configure "fake" printer
devices. Just go into :NMMGR and create a fraudulent DTC (probably a 48 or a
72 so you have lots of ports), fill it up with 8-port phantom cards if it's
a 48, and assign those ultralightweight ports the LDEV numbers you want to
use.
